Thepresent.invention relates to buttons, v and more particularly to a novel form oi buttonadapted to bereadily applied to and removed from garments. l

, This application is a vcontinuation in part or my application, Serial No. 4760, liled Jan- ,nary 26, 1925.

The primary object of the invent-ion is to provide a button oi' novel form Whichfis adapted for use on garments sueltas pajamas, for example,` and which may be readily attached to andremoved trom thefgarment Without sewing, and Without theuse oi metal or other fastening means which would injure the abricof the garment.

s notherobject oi' the invention is' to pro vide a button which may be attached to and detached from a garment andwhich is made in tivo parts adaptedto be connected in such a manner and is of such form that it may be made readily attachable to and detachable from a fabric connecting means attached to a the garment. f e

A further object of the invention is toprovide a button which may be made in parts ot' such Yitormv that one part maybe readilyV inserted in a loop on the garment and the other part connected to the first partin such waya's 'to hold the loop in place so that the loop forms the connectingv mea-ns between the assembled button and the gar-V ment.k r e Y With these and other obgects 1n `View the invention comprises the various features hereinafter more fully described and par-` l any desired length.- Theloops may obviousticularlydelined in the claims. The Various features ofthe invention are e illustrated in the accompanying drawings showing the preferred form of the invention and ,means whereby it may be attached to Figure l is a view of a portion oi a. garf nient showing thebuttons iny place thereon, the views showing also tl'iepreierred means for attaching the'buttons to thega'rment, comprising ay series of loops, to wliichth'e buttons are detachably connected;

Referring more particularly to the draw-V ings, the numeral 2 indicates a ybutton embodying myinvention which is attached to a garment `3 by means of a loop member 4 Which-comprises the' preferred attaching meanslfor the button. f L

Such' loop members 4 may be readily formed on the garment by theuse oi" a fab- -ric member-5 which may ,bek a' ribbon or tape andwhich. is attached t-o the underside of Ythe garment, various portionsr of the ribbon ly be fformedin any `desired manner suchk as by serving separate sections" ofthe ribbon or tape in place to form the loops. I may also, 9 if desired, use individual strands for attach ing the button to the garment in placek of a loop membeiysuch a strand beingl illustrated The preferred forni my invention is il 100 lustrated in Figures 3 and li in which a base portion or inner portion 'Tot the button has a screw thread S around its periphery and is adapted to lit a corresponding screw i thread Qina cover portion 10 of the button. `105 In order to attach the loop member 4, attached to the garment', to the button,` I

ypreferably-y providetwolateral slots 11, 12' inxthe base-portion, these slots being prefere' ably` located diam,etricallyk opposite inthe' 110 base portionl'and beingof suitable Width so c vthat afloop member offsuiiicient vsize maybe which comprises a plurality removed 'from a vention may be altered or changed without departing from the spirit or scope oit the invention as rdefined in the claims.

Having thus described the invention, what is clainied as new is l. A button adaptedtobe applied to and removed from a garment `without sewing, ot' parts adapted to be detachably' joined together and. to be attached to a fabric member connecting the button with the garment. i i
